There is a ‘list of 162’ workers that has not been disclosed but which forms the basis for the police to either arrest or let go of Maruti workers once they are picked up. The family members of these 162 are being harassed and intimidated and being visited thrice a day by local police, sometimes accompanied by Gurgaon police – at times 12-15 police show up, says Rakhi Sehgal.

There isn’t a single burning, insurmountable issue because of which workers at Maruti’s Manesar plant have struck work thrice in the last five months . Sruthijith KK & Chanchal Pal Chauhan report from Manesar that at its core lie accumulated grievances and resentment, and events are adding fuel to the fire

Instead of shedding crocodile tears about the worsening ‘investment climate’, the oligarchs who make up Indian Inc. and their MBA underlings would do well to engage in some soul-searching. For a change, they can ask themselves: Should I continue to treat the Indian worker simply as a cost factor that has to be reduced to zero, or can I treat them with a little more respect, so that they too can live, and work, with dignity?, argues G Sampath.

Earlier, workers were less educated and submissive; now, the younger lot is educated, aware, assertive and aggressive. A change that, perhaps, the Japanese management at Maruti—which has been in control in the last five years—did not factor in while bringing in new strategies and practices into the company, says Arindam Mukherjee.
